16. Next Goal Wins

Despite wrapping principal photography roughly a year ago, we've heard curiously little about Taika Waititi's adaptation of the 2014 documentary Next Goal Wins, in which Dutch-American football coach Thomas Rongen attempts to transform the American Samoa national team from a laughing stock into a fierce squad.

Michael Fassbender will play Rongen while the supporting cast counts Elisabeth Moss and Armie Hammer among its number.

It's easy to see how Waititi's unique comedic sensibilities would lend themselves well to a project of this sort, and given how little Fassbender has been on our screen as of late, it'll hopefully give him his first worthy role in quite some time.
